I'm 6'2". It's snug, but I fit quite comfortably.But if I had to mess with a clutch, it might be cramped if the pedal has a long throw.

I'm 6'2", with a 32" inseam and I have about 1" of head clearance, and my knees are about 1" from the dash.
Base cars seem to have a little more head room with their cloth seats.
It sounds cramped, but I've been behind the wheel (of my 6 spd.) for more than 12 hours straight and got out wishing for more.

I'm 6'2" weigh 245# and I have no problem in my coupe and I have a 6 speed. I put my butt in first and swing my legs in. My head does not hit the top either. My wife and I took a trip from Sacramento to Tucson and were very comfortable. A great touring car.

I'm 6'4" and have driven Crossfire coupe's without a problem. Getting a helmet on might be an issue.

Fortunately the roadster's have a couple more inches headroom!

6'2" and 250+ and I love my 6 speed. The only concession is I have to take off my hat, otherwise it's a great fit. I feel like I'm in a cockpit of some exotic jet.

6'2" here. about 1 finger width of head room. The drivers seat adjusts vertically. Also it can be kinda tricky to split the difference between knee room and angle of back rest, but if you get it just right there is no problem. Now my dad who is 6'5" is even tighter, he barely fits in the passenger

It's all about seat adjustment. I'm a little over 6' 2" and I fit in my car with about 4 inches of head room , about 2 with a helmet on.

You must be all legs and a short torso.

I'm 6'3" and have the seat adjusted all the way down and all the way back...foregoing any sort of extra rear lean on my seat.

I have about 2" of headroom at the absolute most....if I'm slouching... the leg room? well, i barely have any leg room. Both knees practically touch the dash...unless I really really really don't want them to...but that's too much effort.

I'm 5' 12" and kind of long in the torso (32" inseam). I can find a seat position that works well, but my hair is always in danger of grazing the headliner and my knees don't have a lot of room under the dash. I do have the limited coupe with the taller seat because of the heating elements or the adjusting mechanism (or leather is thicker, I don't know). Further complicating things is that I can't slouch because of back issues. Sleeping on airplanes is out of the question. I flew from Ky to Istanbul a couple of years ago on a 22-hour flight and in the deep dark hours I think I might have been the only person awake with the possible exception of the pilot.

Anyway, I spent about 8 hours driving it home from Michigan back in January when I bought it and felt fine. I do like the firmly supportive seats--I think it might be a German thing.

6'5 180 32waist. I have to slouch some and adjusting the seats to that perfect spot gives a little headroom its fine for 1-2 hour trips max but anything longer would be brutal, Doesn't make me like the car any less i love the srt.

Exactly!
Adjust the seat down & then play with the rest of the adjustments until you feel comfortable. I'm 6'2" & have no issues UNLESS someone futzs with my adjustments (like mechanics or the missus, though she knows better !)

I'm with you. There must be alot of different body types. I'm 6'2" and I don't care how I adjust the seat, I'm within a finger width clear to touching the top. I also have back issues and cannot slouch. Seats are not comfortable to me either on a long drive. I am forever searching for a solution.
